Happenings @ the Library Book Fair 2006

Went to expo this afternoon with TYM for the book fair and there is only one word to describe it...SCARY!!!So many people are searching for the books which are on sale for $2 or $1 per copy and a stack of magazines for $5. Reasons for saying it a mad house and scary ;

saw an old uncle whose market trolley are filled with bags of books filled to the brim

books are flying all over the place

saw people are stacking books that are so tall as mountains and sitting aside to read them or filtering them out

people following those staff that is pushing new books to replenish the stock

saw a maid hugging travel guides of many countries(I think she is under the command of her owners)

There is one situation that make me amused at those people behaviour towards sale:

I was holding to a stack of magazines and thinking should I buy or not and place it back to the tray but within a spilt seconds when I want to buy them, THE WHOLE ENTIRE STACK IS GONE infront of me...I almost fainted lol...Anyway I also got a great deal. I bought 2 stacks of Time magazines and 4 english books.

So today is a fun and amusing day to spent @ the expo whahaha...

Happy Birthday Singapore!

Today is a big day for Singapore as she is 41 years old already!!! Happy Birthday Singapore and also to my cousin whose birthday also falls on 9th August... So good leh the whole of Singapore also celebrate for her lol...

Sometimes human are so thick-skinned...

He can make you angry then at the end of the day apologize to u machiam nobody's business. In fact the whole thing starts with his stoopid nonsense and in the end expect me to forgive him and wanted to treat me to 10 meals lol... SO IDIOTIC right!!! He can be angry then others dun have the rights to be angry is it lol... Anyway he can do what he likes now and nobody will stop him and better still stay 24hrs with that little gal of his... Good luck to him!

Neil Humphreys' Autograph Session @ Orchard Kino

Today went for the autograph session of Neil Humphreys'. Went for his 1st session years ago for the launch of his 1st and 2nd books but the stupid thing is that I lost the two books with his signatures *sigh*. So no choice but to buy back the two books and also bought his latest book called "Final Notes from a Great Island A Farewell Tour of Singapore". This is his last book before his leave Singapore after spending 10 years in Singapore which in the first place supposed to be only a 3 month stay in Singapore. Go to here to read about him : http://sg.news.yahoo.com/060717/5/singapore219530.html. Years ago went to Borders for his 1st session and the queue is so short so as Singaporean's way of thinking, I was thinking aiya since 1st time so short so die die the 2nd session must be also short lol... But I am dead wrong. Luckily my auntie went to queue for me beforehand as I need to rush down from work. Once I reached there I almost fainted as the queue is SO DAMN LONG... So both of us waited from 2p.m to about 4p.m which is the end of session but then the queue is also very long around that time hahaha...
I think there are about hundreds of people in the queue. Got lucky draw also. But I dunno if I won antyhing cos we need to rush to our Dharma class that starts @ 3p.m and we are so FREAKING LATE. Neil is very friendly and he apologized for the long wait and I told him it is worth the wait. I asked him when will he return to Signapore and he said he will do so in 1 year later. So in the end he signed on his 3 books and also I was given his poster with his signature... From that instance, the 3 books are my prized possessions. So what are you all waititng for!!!! Go grab his 3 books this very instance.

Too little time...

Today I found that I had so many books to read ranging from comics, Dharma books to the Neil Humphreys series... Yet I don't have the time to complete reading all of them. Sometimes(if not most of the time) I don't have the time to complete a book. I will jump from one book to another book lol... Is this human's mentality lol... I simply don't know. In Singapore, everythings are so rushing. We rush to take the MRT, to work and some other places. I think in order to cultivate good habits I need to at least complete them before the end of 2006! I think I need to stop buying books till I finish reading at least half whahaha... Now I am sick of playing video games. Just don't have the mood at all. Maybe I am having PMS.

Fate plays a part in life...Don't you think so???

Tried playing Titan Quest demo in my new laptop but guess what got error appears... It seems like my new laptop has only built-in graphics card so cannot play. So I re-downloaded the demo to my pc and it works since my graphics card for my pc is quite hi-end. The game is not bad as it is not as hard as Heroes of Might and Magic 5. However after playing the 1st quest I quit and went to play my Taiko game for ps2. So long never play that ps2 version and the fun is still there lol... After that went to watch The Lake House starring the handsome Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullocks. This movie is a remake of Il Mare a Korean movie. I have not watched the Korean version yet so no comments lol... The Lake House is about a doctor by the name of Kate in 2006 writes letters to an architect by the name of Alex in 2004 cos she stayed at the lake house before which is bulit by Alex's father for her mum. While writing letters to each other they fell in love with each other. The funny thing is that both knew each other two years ago which is in 2004 at Kate's birthday party. However they forgot each other's names lol...In fact, during that party they like each other liao lol... Sounds crazy right... The story ends when in 2006 Kate is getting married to Morgan and is at a office that is owned by Alex and his bro to built a house for them. At the office Kate saw Alex's drawing and asked his bro where is Alex. He told her that he died two years ago in Valentines day which is when Kate failed to rescue him during a car accident. So she faster went back to the Lake House and wrote to him not to find her and to wait for her for 2 years. So he really wait for 2 years for her and they met at the same spot whereby Kate mailed the letter at their mail box besides the Lake House. So I am wondering if he can wait for her for 2 years then how come he can come ack two years later at the same spot whereby Kate wrote the letter telling him not to find her. Funny right lol... According to TS, in the korean version both did not meet each other in the end. So I wonder who is right and who is wrong.

It has been so long since Keanu Reeves act in a movie...He is my favourite actor besides Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise. So handsome... The last time is when he acts in The Matrix... Hope to see more of his movies lor...

The coolest-looking M-Cody M-20 MP3 Player

Similar in design to the LG Chocolate Phone, the M-20 is thin like an iPod Nano and has features Apple wouldn't think of putting in their player. Among them, FM radio, voice & line in recording, and WMA & OGG support. The bad news, only USB 1.1 for file transfers. But holds up to 2 GB worth of music.
This is the type of mp3 player that I want and so someone in the forum is organising a MO for it and I of course participate it... However that guy told us that it is out of stock at the moment and got to wait for 1-2 weeks of August to get it so what to do leh must play the waiting game right :) But I had already 4 mp3 players right now leh...2 irivers, ipod and iaudio liao leh. I can't resist this Cody player as it is in black and I am beri obessed with black and silver stuff mah... Looks cool right...So once I get hold of it I will post some more pictures in here... So stay tuned...

Titan Quest

This game is the latest craze now... In Titan Quest, players will take an epic journey through such fabled locations as the Parthenon, the maze of Knossos, the Great Pyramids and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon blah blah blah... So right now I am downloading the demo and if it is playable in my new laptop I might as well buy the original off shelves and enjoy whahaha...

Taiwan Taiwan...

Just back from Kbox...Went with TYM and TS...We had so much fun from singing
约定 to 童话. It has been so long since we had so much fun. It seems that we had so much of
唱不完的歌. Sing sing sing till time's up but the problem is I still have not sing enuff yet leh...Last night also went with TYM to have our dinner at Kenny Rogers then book Kbox. So 巧 we saw the autograph session of Jolin 蔡依琳 so you can imagine a popstar comes to Singapore then so many teenagers rushing here and there to take her pictures and each level of the shopping mall is 人山人海 and each person is WITHOUT a camera or camera-phone...Crazy right??!!! I was thinking crazy lah squeeze for what right...Anyway both of us also stand there to see but the only thing that we can see is 人头. So in the end we did not get a chance to see how pretty she is...Anyway we stand is for fun lol...So after that we went to a newly opened Taiwan shop to buy
太阳饼 which we did not get a chance to buy back from Taiwan trip months ago. The price is reasonable and I also so heng to lucky dipped to be comes their lifetime member where they will inform me for their food tasting session lol...Typical Singaporean right???!!! Frankly the 太阳饼 are very nice to eat leh...Can you imagine I bot 10 pieces last night then now left about 2 pieces whahaha... he two ladies at home enjoy the biscuits... So just now after out Karaoke session I went back to the same shop to buy 牛舌饼 which is ironically not made of cow's tongue but in fact it is made of flour. So many weird stuff in Taiwan whahaha... I was thinking of taking pictures of the biscuits but guess what I am too tired to take any....what to do 人老 is like that wan...

Change of 'enviornment'

I am BACK!!!

Whoaa finally I am BACK after hopping from one job to another and right now I am with my new job...How many months have I stopped blogging???(Can anyone tell me???) From resigning from my 1st job to a new job then quit then go to Taiwan with my not-yet-break at that time BF and then finally in my present job...Took so many wonderful pictures in Taiwan...stayed there for 1 week and really enjoyed it except the sanitary system...The hotel toilets there are OK but the outside toilets really sucks BIG TIME!!! Bought so many stuff till almost over the 20KG limit lol...We broke up right after we came back from Taiwan...Barely less than 24 hours lol...I dun really know the reason for breaking up just feel like it lor...hahaha...I think he take it quite badly...We are together for almost 1 year lol...even our friends almost shock by our breakup...Life is really hard to predict lor...Couple can be happy together then the next moment tattata...break up the next moment. This is quite common now...Happy together lor if not then break lor...However we still go for dinner, watch movies together...He still linger the hope to patch back but as I keep saying : "Once a mirror is broken it will leave a crack forever. No matter how we patch it back" He still keep insisting to patch back lol...He go to the extent of seeking younger gers from the Net. This point I really pity him...After going out with him for 1 year, I find that his mind is full of giving birth to babies and doing hanky panky stuff with me lol...Overall, he is quite a nice guy. A friend of us keeps creating chances for us to patch back...He himself is in a simialr situation like us lol...Well, life still goes on...No matter WHAT!!!

Devil besides me

Last night I was watching this Taiwan drama Devil besides me and whoaaa this drama is not bad after losing faith in all Taiwan dramas lol...Was rushing last night and managed to watch till disc 3(if I dun have work the next day I will surely watch till disc 10 but too bad lor...)The story is about a guy called Jiang Meng who falls in love with his half-sister Qi Yue and blah blah blah...As this drama is directed by the same producer as Liu Xing Hua Yuan, the storyline for both is abit similar but who cares man as long as it is nice to watch. This drama is beri comedy and thru out the show I kept laffing and laffing lol...I am also bidding for another Taiwan drama called Express Boy that is also starring with the same main actor as DBM. Hope that I can faster watch finsihed as I read in forum that the ending for DBM is beri touching...So for those that like comedy love story, this is the show to grab!!!

The Wonderful World of Colors

This is what I call the smart way of using colors in an interview...What do you all think???

Too much love = harmful???

Few days ago I was watching a Taiwan talkshow which is host by a famous Taiwan guy.
The people that are invited are a group of teenagers.
The topic is about how some parents go about 'detecting' their children whenever they
are out roaming the streets with their friends or some even call their cellphones and ask funny questions about them like "Who are you" and "What is your name?". Some parents are so ridiculous that they stalk their children on the street lol...Talking about stalking...a parent rode his motorcycle and follow his son on the street and his son knew that his dad is following him.
So, being a SMART son, he purposely turned back to look at his dad then that poor old man just turned and bang into a wall or something like that.
I know of someone(both the father and the child) that he always peeped that his children smses and always restrict the child form doing this and doing that. I felt so sorry for that child and I can feel that that child is living is a prison.
Sometimes I was thinking YES it's true that all parents love their children and were rather they themselves suffered then their children but think back,are you giving the children space to breathe???This is a question that all parents should think...Teenagers like us need privacy and respect...

Biggest decision made

Two days ago I made the biggest decision of my life(this is what I think lah...)...The funny thing is that after this decision is made, my heart machiam beri light and happy leh...But as the Buddha states: When there is happiness, there is also sadness. So while I am happy with the decision that I made, somebody out there is sad. As I always say "Life is full of sufferings" so there is no exceptions for this time...Another new journey awaits me so I wil grab this chance as I will be free from hell soon...

I was given a black SONY paper bag, a SONY new digicam pamplet, a packet of tissue(for wat purpose man???!!!), a breast cancer foundation brooch and a few more barangs that I don't bother to catch them out(where got time man...!!!). The poster is a double-sided poster(cool isn't it) and being a typical kiasu I was shot both sides of the poster.
